Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a more invasive and metastatic potential than the other types of breast cancer and hence is associated with poor prognosis. Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) could lead to tumorigenesis by separately methylating histone H3K27 and CpG islands in tumor suppressor genes. In order to investigate the association between oncogenesis and the distribution...
